I start with a "disclaimer" (and many apologies!): I read only the last
two messages (by Jim and Carmelo), as I am stuck with teaching in this
period.
I'd like only to suggest a reference on N vs the number of variables (in
morphometrics but not necessarily only in this field). It's a
Hi,
Thank you both!
I asked this question since I guess that deciding on how many
semi-landmarks I can digitize isn't only a matter of how complex the
specimen is, or my willing to estimate missing data (Gunz & Mitteroecker,
2013), but also the number of specimens I posses. So just to clarify
Thanks to everyone who answered.
Dear Dr. Rohlf,
I assumed great variability would be a problem.
I was thinking the best way of digitizing would be to draw a curve on the
outline of each leaf (simple and lobed leaves). Resample curves by length with
approx. 40 landmarks. Then append curves to
